Home again, home again…  man it’s been a wierd couple of days. I’ve spent the last 48 hours trying to explain to people where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing…and I just haven’t been able to put it into words. I know  I’m not supposed to talk about the expereince or the show until it goes on TV sometime later this summer or fall.  I can live with that.. but the real barrier to communication is something much deeper. I just can’t begin to put the experience into words. It was so very different from anything I’v eever done before.. the setting the experience.. the people .. especially the people. I’ve been emailing with some of the other from the show and can tell that they, too are struggling a bit to reintigrate..  I think we all feel like we’ve landed on some alien planet and are trying to make sense of it. It would be fun if I didn’t feel so spacey doing it.
   Job one was to fit back in.. to that end I desperately needed a haircut.. here’s what I looked like monday night:

here’s who I looked on Tuesday night. (Note the happy glow I have of seeing Gabe for the first time !.. I missed him SO much !)

  

And here’s how I looked Wednesday morning.. ready to reinter civilization:

It was great resynching with friends at work today..  There were a  few big changes . One good friend had passed away suddenly while out running.  which was a terrible shock   Another good freind had quit IBM.. which was suprising.. but in a good way. All in all, very little had changed there. I think the big changes were all in my head… now.. what to do with that ?!  I have to think about that…  but for now.. time for sleep

Gnite all. Gnite Sam
